Family worry? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brood

I believe this is a double definition.

'family' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'worry' is the second definition.
(I know that brood has the is a more specific form of the action worry)

(Other definitions for brood that I've seen before include "Sulk; incubate" , "Worry over" , "Think resentfully about family of children?" , "Ponder - family" , "Family of young birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Telegraph.
